FOSS 2025: From Source Code to Source of Truth: 30 Years of Open Source Database Evolution
Alkin Tezuysal speaks at FOSS 2025. The goal is to bring academia, industry, and open communities together around the practical use of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) in education, research, and business. The event is hosted by Chernihiv Polytechnic National University.
This talk traces the evolution of open source databases over the past three decades—from the early rise of MySQL and PostgreSQL to the NoSQL wave and today’s real-time, AI-driven architectures. We’ll explore the shifting landscape of transactional vs. analytical systems and spotlight ClickHouse as a game-changing columnar engine redefining performance at scale. Learn how community-driven innovation, cloud disruption, and new workloads are shaping the future of open data infrastructure.
OSA Com Event: Real Time Data Lakes ft ClickHouse®, DuckDB, StarRocks, and S3
Real-time databases are integrating with data lakes to reduce storage costs and share data with AI and data science. Please join us to hear from a range of experts as they share current problems and solutions while navigating the transition from closed storage models to open table formats like Apache Iceberg. There will be plenty of time to network: discuss problems and brainstorm solutions with your peers.
Join us in New York City for an evening with experts from ClickHouse, StarRocks, Snowflake, and AWS. Learn how to build high-performance real-time data lake systems. Networking to follow presentations. Food and drink provided!
